Core Formulas for Your Automated Spreadsheet
1. Calculate Total Cost Per Item
This is the sum of item price, shipping fee, and any service charge.
=ITEM_PRICE + SHIPPING_FEE + SERVICE_FEEExample:=15+5+1$21.
2. Calculate Refund Balance
If an item is returned, calculate the expected refund amount, often excluding non-refundable fees.
=IF(STATUS="Refunded", ITEM_PRICE - RESTOCKING_FEE, 0)Example:$48
3. Calculate QC Completion Time
Track efficiency by calculating the days between order placement and QC photo arrival.
=IF(NOT(ISBLANK(QC_DATE)), QC_DATE - ORDER_DATE, "Pending")Example:4 days. If QC is incomplete, it shows "Pending".
Building Your Integrated Tracking Sheet
Structure your columns with clear data points, then apply the formulas. A typical setup includes:
| Item (A) | Price (B) | Shipping (C) | Status (D) | Order Date (E) | QC Date (F) | Total Cost (G) | Refund Bal. (H) | QC Days (I) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example Item | 50.00 | 10.00 | QC Pass | 2023-10-01 | 2023-10-05 | =B2+C2 |
=IF(D2="Refunded", B2-5, 0) |
=IF(F2<>"", F2-E2, "Pending") |
Pro Tip:=SUM(G:G)=SUM(H:H)
